...inferior to those of their opponents. Against Newton the 'Varsity scored 24 points and showed a decided improvement over their previous form. The next game with Brown they also won easily by the score of 18-0, and in this game exhibited the best football that they had so far been capable of. A fault still conspicuously apparent, as in the other games, was the uncertain starting of the backs. The interference showed new strength and compactness.

The consistency of the policy seems to be well founded, especially in its developmental process, and, as far as the men are concerned, Harvard never had a lot of men who were physically in better condition than the present squad. During the past week the improvement the team has shown is conducive to a general feeling that they have been taught a fast game and will play their best against...
